Pilates JourneyAshlyn took her first Pilates class in college - in fact, she took Pilates for 7 semesters in a row in college, and still felt a little "take it or leave it" about the system.
It wasn't until a few years later, after moving to Nashville and experiencing low back pain, that she sought out Pilates again. After taking a few classes at Maeva Movement, Ashlyn started to understand and feel the magic of Pilates. One simple variation had her saying "OH! Bridging isn't supposed to feel terrible on my back?!?" - and she was hooked. Ashlyn then joined Maeva Movement's inaugural Mat Teacher Training. At the time she was looking to inform her personal practice and add some tools to her dance teaching. But, she couldn't get enough and later joined Maeva's Apprenticeship Program where she learned the comprehensive system while apprentice teaching under the direction of Laurel Desmarais. Ashlyn is now a Nationally Certified Pilates Teacher. She loves helping people feel ease and joy while moving - in her opinion, the key is slowing down, letting go, and finding alignment. |
